My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2040: It’s Over
The people around were all shocked, the soldier’s eyes widened, and only after reacting did he cover his hand and scream in pain.
The soldier who reached out to grab Madam Aisha reacted immediately, hurriedly pulled out his gun, but Jun Yiyi rushed over fiercely, kicked the gun away in an instant, and then punched him hard on the head. The force shook her hand bones so much that they hurt, and the unlucky soldier was knocked out cold.
The injured soldier saw his companion knocked out, his face changed drastically, and he ran away at full speed.
"Don’t let him escape." The servants joined forces, swung their fists, and beat the soldier until his face was bruised and swollen, completely losing the ability to fight back.
Then Jun Yiyi and her companions quickly dragged the two soldiers into the house, tied them up, and stripped them of their uniforms, letting two male servants wear them, and instructed them to lead the servants to the place according to the route the soldiers mentioned.
However, she and Madam Aisha could not go there. That place would inevitably have government personnel checking their identities before placing them, so going there would be walking into a trap.
Jun Yiyi was grateful for their help just now, fearing this might be the last time they would meet, feeling a bit of the melancholy of parting, everyone said a tearful goodbye.
Then Jun Yiyi took Madam Aisha away alone, encountering quite a few patrolling soldiers along the streets. They pretended to be employees working late at a restaurant. Surprisingly, there wasn’t much questioning, and the soldiers were quite concerned about their safety, pointing them to a safe way to leave.
Without incident, they reached the neighborhood where she had secretly purchased a place. The two were exhausted from a night of anxiety, fearing being caught on the road. Now that they had arrived safely, they relaxed and fell asleep immediately. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
This sudden battle in the city lasted only four days from beginning to end. This era’s wars were all swift and decisive, centered around technology. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky over the Imperial City had changed. You could say that overnight, the world was different.
However, for Jun Yiyi and the others, these short four days were truly grueling.
Today, they finally opened the door to see the clear blue cloudless sky. The vast city sky no longer echoed with the sounds of battle, only an exceptionally cold and oppressive silence remained.
"Phew, it’s finally over. High-tech is remarkable, faster than a rocket." She let out a big sigh, thinking that on Earth, such battles would take at least half a month at the quickest to wear down.
It’s something worth celebrating. They had been cooped up at home for days, not daring even to open the door, feeling like they were about to mold... but there was still one unfortunate thing.
Alas, her intuition was correct. In this Imperial City struggle, ultimately the Councilman Faction gained the upper hand, seizing control of the most important city in the country.
The Councilman is not to be underestimated, having forced the Queen out of the nation’s capital, exiling her to the southern territories of the Royalist influence. But this doesn’t mean the Queen has fallen; the south has always been the stronghold where the Queen’s Party has a deeply rooted royal faction that the Councilman’s side finds hard to grasp.
It seems that the internal conflict has only just begun. Though the Queen lost the crucial city of the Imperial City, she at least won the hearts of the people. Now it is irrefutably true that the Councilman has become a traitorous rebel.
The populace, initially in disbelief, cursing and questioning, had to accept the situation after experiencing the war, and the voices scolding him in public opinion have diminished.
